Lemon Road park is a bit of forest with what was once a stream. It is right beside Lemon Road Elementary school and otherwise surrounded by housing plans.
Mostly, it is a jungle, but a couple of trails go through it. Going off-trail would not be fun. That is to say, the brush layer is heavy, but there really isn't a sub-canopy layer at all. It goes from heavy brush to tall trees without a sub-canopy layer. And I did not explore the whole place, but it seems like a forest of tulip poplar trees.
So here is a picture from along the trail.

Mostly tulip poplar trees rising from a thick scrub layer.
And looking straight up, looks more like a slide of bacteria than a forest canopy.
At the bottom of the park is a stream, such as it is. It has been fully tamed in a cement bit.
Pimmit Run
A sign for the park.
And thus concludes the Lemon Road Park show. A nice bit of green space, but not a place to make plans to visit. Although maybe birders would find it interesting as there would be unobstructed views of birds up high.
